Nick, ( and his Swallow pictures ) as I calmed down in the heat, seated in a chair out in the garden in the shade. Definately not getting a bump on my head and using the 55 - 200mm XF on my beloved X-E1. Hope you like it.

Lovely and simple Ivar. In the UK you seem to see far more bumble bees that honey bees these days. I know they import them but even so...

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Thank you Pete. Just trying to be creative albeit being restricted in this heat. It is 32 C here just now, in the shade. Take care.

 

[Pete Askew]

It is cooler today here in Potsdam, a mere 24ºC. But back to blasting heat and mid-thirties tomorrow.

 

[Tom Dunne]

That's beautiful Ivar and the colouring is spot on.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Thank you Tom, as I'm hiding from the heat down here in my dungeon where the fan goes full trottle. And why should you have it any better Pete.

 

[Pete Askew]

I did buy more beer!

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Excellent Ivar.

 

[Brian Moore]

Lovely shot, Ivar. Based on the responses you've recieved this image seems to have created a buzz about it.

Oh er,...by the way,...did someone mention beer?

 

[Pete Askew]

You're hallucinating again Brian.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Must have been all his beer drinking in the Check republic Pete. Check it out.

 

[Paul Lange]

@Glenn Clabo , yes someone mentioned beer! No that's out the way lovely image Ivar. 32 deg C, that's mild compared to some places I've had to go to.

Thanks Paul and I know about those travels. No envy here though. Fare well mate.
